[Resolved]  Airtel — Deduction of Rupees 200 Unnecessarily

Address:

Dehradun, Uttarakhand

Hi, I would like to share one of the incident that took place with my father on date 05.11.2014 in Uttrakhand, Wednesday. My father received a call from #airtel. That was about to activate some service on phone. It was for activation of hello tune. After listening the person asked to press 1. But my father disconnected the call. after some time when he checked the balance, 200 rs was dedcuted and the service was activated. how come they can simply deduct money that was meant for calling. Its really bad. Then when he called the customer care, they are sayin dat we won't b refunding any money now. After questioning so many times, now they r telling him to come to their office. Really!! Now he have to go to their office, then y there are people recruited for customer care. What they r supposed to do then. Then in d evening I called customer care to enquire. The call was attended by a guynames RAVINDRA. When i said i want the money back to the account he said u activated it and it won't be refunded. After so much arguing, wid a red face i told him dat i m goin to post dis thing on social media like how #AIRTEL is making money. He said "do whatever u want to do..we won't be refunding d money". I said okay!! we'll see. The service is like hello tune for 1 year straight. Who would want such. My father doesn't even knew about it. He just uses a simple nokia phone for calls that's it, nothing else. Lets assume by mistake if the service is activated, then how can they say that we wont be refunding the money. Is this how #AIRTEL handles their customer. Been using airtel for so many years, now they have joined the league of other company's making money. Even after being India's biggest and calling themselves worldclass service provider. I want the recording of the conversation of my dad and the person making call for the service activation. Just sharing it with people so dat b aware, these days companies r doing such things. It's sometimes very difficult to keep a bit more balance. Hoping for a positive reply from #AIRTEL. Friends, plz share this post to let other people also knows that these things are happening and we have to make note of it else it will keeps on happening.
